Specify Finite And Exact Number Of Characters Between Colons When Searching?
Mar 1, 2012
How I can find instances of text strings containing two colon characters separated by any two (arbitrary) characters?
So in other words, "xxxx:xx:xxxx"
If I use :
Code:
SheetName.Cells.Find(What:=":**:", After:=[A1], SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious)
...I get a return of any strings containing two colon characters (regardless of the number of characters in-between) - because obviously the asterisk(s) denote any text whatsoever.
How do I specify a finite and exact number of characters between the colons when searching?

I have a long list of data: a unique number identifier that needs to be grouped with text. Right now they are in two separate columns. I would like to have two large columns on a page, as if you were looking through a phone book. I have been trying to get this list to load into a finite number of rows before it breaks into another column on the same page. Then moves to the next page, so about 30 rows that are set 8 rows down on a page to account for company letter head.
I haven't paired the text and numbers together at all. But I haven't been able to find a way to have them move in a way that maintains their correspondence. I have gotten my numbers to move into the row column set I have wanted but not the text.
[LETTERHEAD] {1-7 rows}
1| Shims 31 |Shims 2
. .
. .
. .
30 Bearing Cover 60 |Mechanical Seals {Then it moves to the next page within a certain space. But at this point I would like it to just have this format}

I already have this code written but it looks for all words that contain my desired word. i.e selecting "innovation" while looking for "ovation"....

I have cells that look like the following
PN„¢HWA„¢PN
HWA„¢PN
PN
HCC
PN„¢HWA
HCC„¢HWA
PN„¢HWA
PN
Not the most exciting data, but I need to identify which cells contain the sub string "HWA". Ideally the next column would have that string extracted into it or some kind of indentifier

I have a number of project files that are maintained on the network.
These files are named "XXXXXX Project Name.XLS".
XXXXXX is the project number. This numbers are unique, so there is only one file per number within the directory. Project names are mostly unique, but sometimes they could be same for a specific site.
We recieve financial data in excel file format from home office. These reports reference only the project numbers, not the name.
I have created an excel program that extracts project numbers and related financial data from the report [from home office].
I would like to create a button or check box next to each project number in my program and link it to the respective file on our network. Once I access the local file on the network I could copy the financial data in its right place.
The problem is opening the file based on project number only, while the file names contain Project Name as well.
So, can I look up a file by only searching for first six characters of the name?
Or can the Hyperlink function work with some sort of wildcard? I can write the formulas to create the hyperlink and then write a macro to look for that file, but I need to be able to find and open the file by looking up only the first six characters.

The following code works fine to determine if a particular character occurs within the selected range of cells:
Code:
Sub CheckIfCharacterIncluded()
For Each MyCell In Selection
If InStr(MyCell.Formula, "#") Then
MsgBox ("The " & "#" & " character was found in cell: " & MyCell.Address & " at position " & InStr(MyCell.Formula, "#"))
End If
Next
End Sub
However, I would like to extend this functionality to check for multiple characters, using some sort of array that contains all the characters I want to check for e.g. "#","*","£" and so on, without having to repeat the above code for each character for which I need to check.

Column A & B has a list of Supplier Part numbers and Buyer Part numbers as below.
Supplier P/N
Buyer P/N
HGFYE/12
111111
HYEYDH/14
222222
[Code] ..........
Cell D2 is an open cell that any data can be entered into as a search term. What I am trying to do is search for a Supplier P/N that have the characters "H", "G" or "E" in it, so entering "HGE" into cell D2 would display the results into columns F & G as below.
Supplier P/N
Buyer P/N
HGFYE/12
111111
HDGTEY/56
333333
I can easily do a formula for 1 character or a string of characters.
To complicate it further, if the search term has in this example has "YFF", I would like the same formula/code to workout that the result in F & G should show this time
Supplier P/N
Buyer P/N
YHDHFF/58

I want a formula to do this... (x1*z1+x2*z2+x3*z3+....+xn*zn) where n is finite.
x1=a1
x2=a1+a2
x3=a1+a2+a3
xn=a1+a2+a3+...+an
z1 = 1.05^1
z2 = 1.05^2
z3 = 1.05 ^3
zn = 1.05^n
is this possible?

Let's say I have one column A (A1 TO A10) and each one of these 10 cells are filled with numbers.
Second, in cell B1 I have a random number (1 - 10).
Now, the problem is: I don't know how to make a sum of exact number of A following column cells, like number in B1.
Example: If there is number 4 in B1 than I need Excel to make sum only for first 4 cells (A1-A4).
Please what is command for this action?

I have a list of customer including customer name and customer number. Is there a way to exact customer number out only? This is the example list.
WAL-MART STORES INC - 1028
KOHL'S - 28983
JOHN'S PET PRODUCTS - 3692
PET SUPERMARKET, INC. - 2298
COSTCO WHOLESALE - INTERNATIONAL - 2783
LOBLAW CO-WESTERN GROCERS - 7424
All I want is the number behind the dash. There are few customers that have more than 2 dashes.

I have a number that I'd like to see ranked within a separate range. Ie if the number is 25 and I want to see how it would be ranked if it were in a range of:
3
43
12
19
22
7
88
(The answer would be 3 - 3rd highest). The RANK formula requires an exact match...

In Sheet 1 there's a Column B with data I'd like to pull using a VLOOK-UP formula. However, I need it too look-up not only the exact number match in Sheet 2, but also the cell directly above it and the cell directly below it. In the sample above if I placed the VLOOK-UP formula in Sheet 2 (at for instance the numbers 23455, 23456, 23457), I'd need it to pull data from Sheet 1, Column B (for the 23456).

Is there a way to not use colons when entering time formulas. I have a start time in a column and and end time in the next column. In the third column is the time difference between the two. I use a 24 hr military time to do this. Is there any way to enter the military time and not use the colon between the hour and minute? Example 1130 and not 11:30?

Is there any formula that could calculate total average number of recruitment days (i'ts one number), but only for "Diana" and "Skipper" (excluding "Jennifer")?
Please see an example:
Recruitment daysResponsible
12Diana
13Diana
19Diana
16Skipper
23Jennifer
[Code] .....
I guess it has something to do with AVG and IF formulas.

I am trying to write a formula that will search an array for a particular number that I type in, and return a "Warning" if the number is within the array, or an "OK" if the number is not yet used. It is to do with allocating batch numbers to Raw Materials and avoiding using duplicate numbers.

I have a list of customers and account numbers contained within a cell. I need a formula if possible that searches from the right of the cell and then returns the all the numbers. e.g.
Arsenal1234Required formula result 1234
Liverpool2456Required formula result2456
Chelsea100564Required formula result100564
I can not use text to columns as they data is not consistant. Also worth noting is that the customer numbers vary fro 1 digit to 9 digits long.

The sub i'm currently using does an instr search for a unique string in an xml file. This works fine but i'd like to speed up the search if possible because I have a large number of xml files to search. My problem is that i have very little experience in parsing xml.
I notice that if i load the xml file and look at the namespaces i see item(1) through about item(20) and the unique string is always contained in one of those items. Note that the number of items can be different for each xml file i load.
The xml file is loaded into an object i define as oInstance and i'd like to do something like:
Do
counter = counter+1
if oInstance.namespaces.item(counter) = uniquestring then[code]....
but now i get Err.Number 91

Due to the company that i work for doing alot of manuafacturing each and every day, i need some sort of look up.
For example, the currently excel sheet i use.
[IMG][/IMG]
As you can see i have many different Job Numbers that i use.... BUT
The problem that i am facing is, that these jobs sometimes are carried over to more than one day, [sheet bottom of screenshot] but also we might make the job one day and and then not again untill next week using the same Job Number.
What I Need
I need a way of searching for a job number across all 31 days and for it to total up the "Quantity (Qty)" of them all that we made upon that Job Number.
So lets say the Job Number 91294 was run on day 1 (shown in screenshot).
And it made 25.
But it then ran again 3 days later on the same Job Number 91294.
And it made 20.
I need it to be able to work that out the total for me across them days being 45 upon the Job Number 91294.
Things to Consider
The layout will NOT change, no extra rows or coloums will be added.

on one sheet we have a summary of the main list, which includes totals of money recieved, totals of all the different sources (ie, where they heard about us from), the totals of the frequencies they pay (ie, how many donate monthly, quarterly...) ... etc. on the next sheet we have the "main" list of donors, their IDs, amounts, frequency, source ...
the totals on the first sheet are updated manually, but i want to change that as there are a great number of errors.

I need a VBA code to find the number of characters in each cell and display the result in next column.
For Ex:
ColA:
HI
who
There
output should be
ColA,ColB
HI,2
who,3
there,5
I have shown example for 3 rows only but there are chances like it contains more than 3 rows(Dynamic rows).I tried by creating Range variable but I couldn't succeeded.

I am using a vlookup and have a problem. I am assigning a category to an item number based on the first two characters of the item number. For example item number 60123 would equal scrap because of the first two characters of 60. But the item number can begin with either a number or letter. Here is the formula I am using that works for item numbers that begin with numbers:
=VLOOKUP(VALUE(LEFT(E2,2)),Sheet3!A:B,2,FALSE)
It works fine until I reach a item number that begins with a letter, then I get the dreaded #Value error. If I take the value out of the formula then it works for the letter based number items but not for the number based item numbers.
